[TheForge] Air hammer recommendations?

[robert hensarling]

Mine only draws about 121 volts on one leg on start up, so I think 30 amps 
is good (5 HP single phase motor, driving a large flywheel, that drives a 
rod that's connected to a piston.  This compressed air then drives the 
actual hammer piston, really a great set-up.  Tom was happy with it.  You 
will want to run the exhaust outside if you can.  There's a small muffler on 
the unit itself, but since there's also oil coming out with the exhaust, I'd 
suggest not letting it run open in the shop.
Robert
